Fission And Fusion

Bayani Gaba-gaba

The energy that powers nuclear reactors and the energy that keeps stars shining come from the same place: the nucleus. Splitting heavy nuclei apart (fission) and squeezing light nuclei together (fusion) both release enormous amounts of energy compared to any chemical reaction.

In this lesson you will learn how uranium-235 undergoes fission, how a chain reaction works, the roles of control rods, the moderator and shielding in a reactor, what nuclear fusion is, why it powers stars, and why achieving fusion on Earth is so difficult.

Manufura

  1. Know that nuclear reactions, including fission, fusion and radioactive decay, can be a source of energy
  2. Understand how a nucleus of U-235 can be split by collision with a neutron, and that this process releases energy
  3. Know that the fission of U-235 produces two radioactive daughter nuclei and a small number of neutrons
  4. Describe how a chain reaction can be set up if the neutrons produced by one fission strike other U-235 nuclei
  5. Describe the role played by the control rods and moderator in the fission process
  6. Understand the role of shielding around a nuclear reactor
  7. Explain the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission
  8. Describe nuclear fusion as the creation of larger nuclei from smaller nuclei, accompanied by a release of energy
  9. Know that fusion is the energy source for stars
  10. Explain why nuclear fusion does not happen at low temperatures and pressures

Takardar Darasi

A single kilogram of uranium fuel releases roughly two million times the energy of a kilogram of coal. That staggering figure comes from the binding energy holding protons and neutrons together inside the nucleus. Both fission and fusion tap into that store, but in opposite ways.
